The Mutzachans encounter a hostile alien spiderlike race in the Canes Venacti globular cluster. This life-form is assumed to be an unbalancing force in the universe. The Council of Timar convenes to discuss appropriate actions.

A Mutzachan war fleet is dispatched to Virgo to reduce the population of the spider race, as well as destroy undesired technology. Over half of the fleet is lost as a price for success, along with some of the greatest minds in Mutzachan culture. A 10-year period of mourning is declared.

Mutzachans learn the truth behind the Arachnid threat. An emergency session of the Council of Timar is convened. Plans for dispersing the Mutzachan race across the galaxies are made as a contingency to all out war.

The Chatilian Civil war begins with the Battle at the Palace of Patru. The "Illuminaries" unleashed the full wrath of their powers on the Normals. Thousands die in the slaughter. The next 57 years will see the Illuminaries carry out terrorist like hit and run raids against the government.

The Chatilian Central Army masses for Soldiers Day at Morkudom. The Illuminaries attack in the bloodiest and final battle of the Chatilian Civil War. 65,000 are lost in the destruction. Four months later, The Peace of Knowledge is signed and the conflict ends.

The orbit of Taos 4 shifts, warming the polar icecaps. Mass flooding and geological upheaval kill millions. A century of global warming passes and the planet's climate is permanently changed. Deciduous weather patterns prevail across the majority of the planet.

The Mutzachans launch a secret mission to the Virgo super cluster. Rumors claim that all who participated perished, or worse! Another emergency meeting of the Council of Timar is held. The outcome is withheld from the Mutzachan people.

Tar of Pythos uses the energy weapon known as the Blade of Sharrass to turn the tide of battle during The Battle for the Jungle Highlands. He becomes High Chieftain to the Ram Python peoples and begins organizing the tribes.

Python Lizards take advantage of the turmoil and launch an all out offensive and quickly crush the divided Ram clans. Taken completely by surprise, the great jungle lizards are quickly defeated. The Pythons banish the Rams to the Western Reaches, to live in the dry lands and salt marshes.

A Phentari expeditionary fleet is approached by alien warships. The Eridani admiral in command of those ships broadcasts terms of surrender. The Phentari refuse and are destroyed. The Justification War begins.

Phentari receive an anonymous tip as to the whereabouts of a potential ally to fight their battle against the Eridani war machine. Phentari scouts observe the Orion homeworld. General Arasarrious, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Naval Echelon, decrees that the Orions would best serve Phentari needs as cattle, and in that way serve as allies.

A genetic mutation in male Cizeracks threatens the existence of the race. Fears are realized when the dominant females of the species exterminate millions of male cats. Surviving males serve only to reproduce.

Eridine launches Operation Thunderbolt, a blitzkrieg-like offensive aimed at destroying Phentari means to wage war. Production facilities are struck at Erli, Manoth, Dwarn, and Lansoge. The planets Uto and Mask are completely destroyed. The savage victory rocks the Phentari government. A military coup, led by Field Marshall Phenerson Phentari overthrows the Phericon government.

Negotiations are held between the Eridani and the Kwashime Pact under the watchful eye of the Council of Timar. The Accords of Hatil are signed. After 291 years, hostilities between the Eridani and the Joint War Effort end.

After years isolated from their homelands and finally united, the Ram Pythons attack in mass and drive the Pythons from their lands. Two months later, Ram Pythons invade the Great Inland Sea on Pythos and slaughter over a thousand Python Lizards in what is known as the Battle of the Blood Flowing Sea. The Second Python civil war begins. It rages for 70 years before it ends at the battle of The King Slayers.

The Mutzachans declare a neutral zone within 20 light years of Germings to be enforced by the Council of Timar. The declaration states that any violation will result in termination of the responsible race. The purpose of this was to allow local races to evolve at their own rate.

Ram Pythons overrun a weapons depot at Salas River, capturing a huge weapons cache. The Cizeracks respond by spraying the jungles with defoliant and nerve agent. Hundreds of thousands of Rams are killed.

The War Against the Lizards ends. One out of every four cats that fought died. The Pythons lose over half their number. Little is gained. Cizeracks withdraw much of their force, leaving behind strategic bases. A Mutzachan scout ship makes a forced landing on Earth in the United States of America and is captured intact, while its existence is successfully kept secret from the rest of the world for decades.

A second Mutzachan scout ship crashes on Earth at Roswell, New Mexico, USA. The ensuing government cover-up only adds fuel to Human belief in extraterrestrial beings. Reverse-engineering of the two alien craft's technology provides an enormous boost to Humanity over the next several decades.

The Mutzachan exploration freighter Uranium Sun suffers engine damage and is rescued by a strange being who suddenly materializes on the ship's bridge and fixes the problem with the sweep of a hand. He calls himself a Dane and then disappears.

Armed with stolen Cizerack technology, Ram Pythons invade the Great Inland Sea and butcher the Python Lizards. The wholesale massacre is called the Revenge of the Silent Blade in memory of Tar, the great Ram Python Tomud. The 3rd Civil War on Pythos begins.

Ram Pythons launch another offensive to destroy the Python Lizards, once and for all. They use modified Cizerack technology to win the decisive Battle for the Inland Sea. Python Lizards capitulate and are rounded up, then slaughtered. The Ram Pythons begin a systematic extermination of the sea lizards when all of a sudden, their weapons stop working. A gold-robed Mutzachan then appears, hovering in the sky. He speaks, saying, "You have used technology to unbalance the otherwise equal force between you. This I must stop." He continues for awhile, then speaks a strange prophecy. "One day, Ram and Python shall fight side by side as brother and turn the tide in the battle for the universe. Thus, both races must be allowed to flourish. From this moment forward, I forbid any wars between you. All violators shall be destroyed!"

A Ram Python army enters Python waters to destroy Python Lizards. The sea begins to boil and they are cooked to death. Shortly thereafter, the same gold-robed Mutzachan appears and threatens, "If you disobey my commands again, I shall be forced to terminate you. I am your superior in battle. Look at those whom I have defeated." A peaceful coexistence begins on Pythos.

Nuclear terrorism, combined with rising tensions between East and West, triggers a "limited" nuclear war on the planet Earth. Nearly 1/3 of the planet's population perishes. Civilization is thrown into chaos as a nuclear winter sets in.

The Western Defense Group is formed between the United Socialist States of America, Canada, and Brazil. This Alliance quickly becomes the dominant economic power in the world as they contain the majority of the planet's remaining arable land. They secretly begin funneling defense funds into the improvement of the International Space Station. The goal: a permanent colony on Mars and potential haven for the Human race if war comes again to Earth.

Europe begins to get back on its feet. Trade begins again with the New World. Ethnic tensions build in Europe as millions of displaced Russians and Ukrainians try to integrate after fleeing their homelands, laid waste by Chinese nuclear and biological weapons.

The global super-powers, (the Sino-Asian Alliance, the Western Defense Group, and the Pan African Congress), meet in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, at the historical site of NORAD, to discuss a joint effort to build a comprehensive space program. The intent is to colonize the entire solar system, as well as distant star systems. Early predictions about the rapid dissipation of radioactivity on the planet are wildly optimistic; species continue to die off at an alarming rate. A global effort known as The Ark Project is instituted to collect and freeze all animals' DNA samples. Human mutations begin to appear.

The first Humans land on Mars. It is kept secret from the world. The Human Genome Project finally bears fruit. Hundreds of diseases are cured at a stroke, saving Africa from virtual depopulation, and increasing average life expectancy to 95. Genetic enhancement seems a real possibility.

Mutzachans make open contact with Humanity and begin cleaning up the planet. They trade industrial technology for medicine. The Energy Controllers greatly accelerate Human technological evolution. Despite this, witch hunts to kill the aliens spread rampantly across the terrified world.

Mutzachan scientists set out to clean up radioactive waste in the territory once known as New York State in the United Socialist States of America. This gesture of goodwill between races causes the witch hunts to subside and cultural relations are established. Mutzachans settle in the most radioactive clime of the United Socialist States, in the territories of the Greater Montana Desert, Wyoming, and North Dakota. Later that year, the Sino-Asian Alliance and The Western Defense Group meet to discuss the future of humanity on the planet Earth and the effect of the Mutzachans on the chances for humanity's survival. It is uncertain whether or not the visitors will be able to clean up the planet before the radiation annihilates humanity altogether. Mutzachans offer to trade technology for medicine. Mutzachans provide the Humans with vastly superior interstellar drive technology. Space vessel production booms. Telydyne Corporation is founded as a private corporation, devoted to cleaning up the planet Earth.

Relations between the United Socialist States of America and the Mutzachans improve. The Greater Montana Desert, Wyoming, North Dakota, as well as South Dakota and the Idaho-Colorado Territories are ceded to the Mutzachans: the sovereign state of Trishcus is established.

New York State is declared a Radiation Free Zone. The Tower Project is set up on Whiteface Mountain to control the state's climate. Resettlement begins. Over the next 10 years, the Republic of Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as the states of New Jersey, Vermont, and Massachusetts join the ranks of Radiation Free Zones. New York develops into the agricultural center of the world.

Disgruntled over perceived favoritism by the Mutzachans in cleaning up the North, Southern States secede from the Union and declare themselves the Southern Confederacy of America. They form an army which attacks up through Kentucky into Ohio in an effort to control farming. The Second American Civil War begins. Telydyne Corporation Headquarters is moved from Pittsburgh to Syracuse, NY. It develops a weapons division to produce weapons for defense against Confederate aggression. Confederate sympathizers revolt on Mars.

In a surprise strike, Texas attacks the Mutzachans in Colorado. Texans ally themselves with the Southern Confederacy of America. Hundreds of Mutzachans are killed and 1/3 of the Idaho-Colorado Territory, and all of the New Mexico-Arizona Territory, falls. Confederate saboteurs blow up the spaceship Union Steel on the launch pad at the Mars Exploratory Launch Station.

Mutzachans formally warn the Southern Confederacy of America to immediately cease hostilities against the sovereign state of Trishcus or face retaliation. General Hannibal "Stonewall" Jackson (a descendant of the original Stonewall Jackson) begins the Siege of Denver in late July. Three divisions surround the city. The Pan African Congress establishes diplomatic relations with the Southern Confederacy. Military weapons and equipment begin to flow into Atlanta and Miami. Union troops (as they have come to be known) counter attack with 4 divisions in Ohio.

An army of 20 Mutzachans confronts and slaughters Stonewall's three divisions in a single night in February. A Mutzachan named Markuss leads the attack, then later acts as emissary for the Union delegation, demanding an unconditional surrender. The Pan African Congress officially declares war on the Mutzachans. In April, a radiation cloud settles over Pretoria, the center of operations for the African armies. All are lost. Miami is destroyed by a Cataclysm matrix in early June. The Southern Confederate States of America sue for peace and The Second Civil War ends.

With the aid of the Mutzachans, Humans and Gen-Humans build the first stargate orbiting Mars. Over the next 50 years, Humans build a massive space fleet and sweep out across the galaxies, colonizing hundreds of worlds, and encountering myriad alien races. Mutzachans supervise the expansion. The Human population explodes.

The Earth colony ship Viking Landing finds vast mineral deposits on the fourth planet orbiting the star Leconis 9. This discovery is called the Second Gold Rush and public sentiment shifts to heavily support the exploration of space.

The Earth Pact is signed by all nations, completely outlawing war. Mutzachans are given broad police powers to ensure that this decree is followed. Any country that carries out an act of war is to be destroyed. Earth begins conversion to a space-based industrial economy, driven by the desire to conquer the galaxy. The socialist party is removed from power in America because "we want it that way! We Americans are natural capitalist pigs! Oink! Oink!"

The first Human exploration ships reach the Fornax galaxy. A base of operations is set up in Quadrant 1, Sector 1 for the exploration of those areas deemed significant. They settle the planet Naxtar and are subsequently attacked by Aeodronians. Construction of the first stargate is begun.

A defense treaty is set up to protect the 12 most powerful races, and thus the Galactic Alliance is founded. Gen-Humans assume leadership of the Alliance with Mutzachans as arbitrators. The Council of Timar is moved to New Washington. Joint Eridani and Human fleets are dispatched to Virgo to battle the Arachnids on their own ground. Phentari, Cizerack, and Mutzachan units are held behind to protect the Core Worlds. The invasion is stopped with the loss of 13 warships, including the Earthling battle cruisers Valiant and Windsor, the heavy cruiser Choi Ling, the escort cruiser Providence, and destroyer Brazil.

Eridani and Phentari border skirmishes breakout. A cease-fire is signed. The Council of Timar proves for the first time that it has true authority over all nations within the Alliance. Eridi-Corp is created to protect Swordsaint interests.

The first Rebel Uprising. Crack mercenary units disguised as operators of a freighter convoy capture Starbase Sunrise, along with its stargate. The insurgents demand political reform. Simultaneously, riots break out on dozens of planets across the Core Worlds. Military units respond and crush the Rebellion.

100 Chatilians are brutally murdered on the planet Regal by an extremist Gen Human cult. All the cult members later meet untimely deaths. The planet is later abandoned under the pretext that it is haunted.

The second Aeodronian Incursion is launched all over the sector. Ground fighting is especially heavy. Balshrom does over 25,000,000,000,000cr worth of business this year and becomes one of the top ten mega-corporations. The height of this success is crowned by the production of the Balshrom Flux cannon, considered the first reliable Omega cannon. Multiple Telydyne officials are fired.

The Second Arachnid Invasion begins. Crossroads is taken. Battles rage all along the Northern Ring. Battle Station Sing Sing is destroyed. It will later be rebuilt. Arachnid forces get by the Alliance defense lines and attack Transit in an effort to cut off the Northern Limits of the sector. The carrier Wasp is lost over Sculpface. For five years, battle rages all over the sector.

Uncle Ernie turns sour over a dispute of licensing rights for genetic experiments. The Second Rebel Uprising occurs. It is put down at the Battle of Terasleague. Casualties total in excess of 5 million.

The war between Aansalon and Rapiris begins. It will last for 10 years and hundreds of thousands will perish in the slaughter. In the end, both systems are reduced to rubble. Orion emigrants from the Core World settle in an unclaimed asteroid field which later becomes known as the Maze of Orion. Later on in the year, Pirates begin attacking Alliance shipping.

Professor Uncle Ernie Freiberg escapes from the maximum security prison at New Leavenworth and releases the Blood Warlock on New Washington which kills 2.5 million people. He then starts the Anarchist Rebellion Movement (ARM), designed to annihilate the Alliance by producing and dispersing dangerous life forms throughout the galaxies.

Battlelords of the 23rd Century 50th edition is released. There are still tuns of typos. The affects won't be aperent for a couple of sentureys, PPleas esend all corrections to SameS@#tDiffrentCompanee, New Leavenworht worshop. Ask for the Fat Black pot Bellied Condor. He is working as the prison secretaryu? Ask for the new expanded typos index! Larrry is still using the same 286. His brain keeps being transplanted and is currently resdingg in a Ram Python.

A Dane appears on the Floor of the Council of Timar for the second time. He claims, "Atlantis understood the threat and took measures to safeguard its own survival. Have you taken measures to ensure your own? Do not hastily assume your enemies."

The Anarchist Rebellion Movement kills a million Humans and Eridani on the planet Nrell by dispersing a deadly virus into the upper atmosphere. Arachnid ships attack the Karamana battle station on the Northern Ring. The Ninth Fleet responds by attacking the Xarian planet of Kull. Xarians threaten full scale war, claiming that they had nothing to do with the attack. Diplomats meet on New Washington to diffuse the situation.

The battlecruiser New Washington and her contingent of warships ambush and destroy an Arachnid mothership over Tau Ceti. Jaquassarious Phentari destroys the planet Sharron and becomes the number one wanted criminal in the galaxies.

Arachnids obliterate the planets Salvador and Zwim Mon Damnax of the Andromeda galaxy. Reports claim that a third invasion may possibly be under way. The 7th fleet, lead by the carrier Enterprise is dispatched to the area.

Fostering fears of a Third Arachnid Invasion, an AMC mining convoy is attacked and wiped out by four Arachnid scout ships. Curiously, they steal the cargo from the AMC ships. AMC denies they were transporting anything other than di-tritium ore. Galactic-X is rumored to be investigating.

A special session of the Galactic Forum (The Alliance legislature) is convened to discuss the destruction of the planet Sharron by Jaquassarious Phentari. The action is condemned and a vote for a Death Note (unconditional bounty) is taken. The referendum is passed. Mutzachan and Phentari representatives abstain from voting.

Some twenty different Alliance vessels disappear without a trace. A special inquiry is set up to investigate these happenings. Uncle Ernie delivers a present to the planet Borneo in the form of a special biological weapon. All indigenous life perishes. He sends a message to the floor of the Council of Timar. "Hey, baby. Uncle Ernie loves you! By the way, that was only a trial size."
